Katie Robbins is staying in business with 20th Television after the studio backed one of Hulu’s most talked-about recent limited series, Good American Family.
Robbins, who created the Ellen Pompeo-led drama, has signed an overall deal with 20th Television, the Disney Television Studios banner behind the series. Under the agreement, she will develop, write and produce new television projects for linear networks and streaming platforms, with Disney-controlled outlets expected to be a key focus.
Katie Robbins’ 20th Television Overall Deal Builds on ‘Good American Family’
The deal is a strong vote of confidence in Robbins following Good American Family, a Hulu limited series that put her at the center of a high-profile drama with major star power. Ellen Pompeo, best known globally for Grey’s Anatomy, fronted the show, giving the project visibility with both prestige-TV audiences and mainstream streaming viewers.
Overall deals remain one of the clearest ways studios lock in creative voices they believe can generate multiple series ideas over time. For 20th Television, keeping Robbins close means gaining first access to her future scripts, pitches and producing work as the studio continues supplying shows to Hulu, Disney+, broadcast networks and outside buyers.
Why 20th Television Is Betting on More Streaming Drama
20th Television has become a major part of Disney’s scripted TV pipeline, producing projects across Hulu, ABC, Disney+ and other platforms. The Robbins deal fits neatly into that strategy: identify writers and producers with a clear voice, then give them room to build shows that can travel across streaming and traditional TV.
For viewers, this could mean more character-driven dramas, limited series and prestige-leaning projects from Robbins in the coming years. While no new series has been announced as part of the pact yet, the agreement puts her in a strong position to create projects for Hulu and other Disney-backed homes.
‘Good American Family’ on Hulu: Why the Series Matters
Good American Family helped push Robbins further into the industry spotlight. The limited series drew attention not only because of Pompeo’s involvement, but because it arrived during a period when true-story-inspired dramas and morally complicated family stories continue to perform well on streaming.
Hulu has leaned heavily into adult-skewing scripted drama, crime stories and limited series, making it a natural fit for projects like Good American Family. That positioning also explains why Disney Television Studios would be keen to keep a creator like Robbins in its system.
Where to Watch ‘Good American Family’ in the US, UK and EU
Good American Family is a Hulu original series in the United States, so US viewers can watch it on Hulu. Hulu as a standalone streaming service is not officially available in the UK or most of the EU.
For UK and EU audiences, Disney+ is the platform to check, as many Hulu and Disney Television Studios originals are distributed internationally through Disney+ and its Star hub, depending on local licensing and release schedules. Availability can vary by country, so viewers outside the US should confirm the title in their regional Disney+ library.
